the learning pyramid

just another learning model among the many existing right now. it was shown briefly at a masters intro talk i went last week, with the purpose of highlighting the fact that learning can and should be self-directed. students should be active participants in the learning process, not passive recipients of information. you can read more abt it by googling "learning pyramid" on the web.

think abt how it can be applied in your life. =)

it's so refreshing to see wonderful pple so humble in their ways and mannerisms.. i know that a lot of times, pple around me have been rather put off by the way i fuss over minor details. grammer, typo errors, what route to take, where to eat, etc etc.. but all josh said was a simple "thanks".. he was sharing with me what he experienced at service, and told me he blogged abt it. so i went to his blog and read it. of course, i did understand the message he was trying to put across, but i only replied him with one word: "definition". i saw a typo error and instinctively i had to let him know.. a short while after that i wondered why i did that.. i'm sure he wanted to talk abt the sermon, and perhaps tell me something. (gosh, i lost my train of thought... shall continue this when i recall my point)

Onitsuka Tiger

300

Set in the midst of the Persian-Greco war during the Battle of Thermopylae, where Spartan king Leonidas led his army of 300 soldiers into battle against the invading Persian army. According to legend, their valor and sacrifice inspired all of Greece to unite against their Persian foe, leading to the origins of democracy.

An Irish Airman Forsees His Death -- W. B. Yeats

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above:
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love:
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

feel so so drained.. huge nav test last week. feeling the pressure of OPP and other stuff we need to do. plus the running around doing logistics stuff. haiz.. was really hoping that 2007 will be much better than last yr, but i started it with a fatigued body and a downcast heart..

God pls grant me strength and courage

"My eager desire and hope being that i may never feel ashamed, but that now as ever I may do honour to Christ in my own person by fearless courage." -- Philippians 1:20
